Gatherings

Today while walking up the path to the car I hear the sound of the Canadian geese flying over head which always makes me look up.  I love the sounds they make while they are flying back home in their uniform ways. It is so beautiful a site I had to share. I only wish I could somehow catch their sounds. This is a treat I get a few times in spring each year. The gathering of their kind eager to get back home.

It was such a beautiful day that all the Charming Chicks met for lunch at a Matzalan Mexican Restaurant to celebrate birthdays for April and Joanne ,who was unable to attend, but April  and the rest of us had a delicious lunch with all of our chit chat and laughs and opening of presents.

Julie made a delicious angel food cake with whipped topping and blackberries. Yum! Susan had a time cutting the angel food with the knife she was given. Looked like something a pirate would use.

April wore the traditional birthday hat while the waiters seronaded her, and  than we all joined in and sung Happy Birthday.

It was a great day of gatherings with all my newfound 'sisters' and we are all becoming good friends. It is really nice to be able to share our stories, our knowledge and we just plain enjoy being together. I'm not sure how all the other patrons managed to get through their lunches while we carried on, but as we were leaving, one lady actually told April happy birthday with a smile.

 To many more good times and fun gatherings.
